military and toward u.s. diplomacy. to upscale our soft power capacity as a country so we have more options beyond just the option of force. this president did a lot to advance that idea simply by putting somebody as high profile as hillary clinton in the job of america's head diplomat. but the overall goal of upscaling state, upscaling diplomacy and development so they are right up there with defense, like she said today, that is widely regarded as a goal that is not yet realized. secretary clinton alluded to that fact today when she said she now plans to become an advocate for that cause from the outside. it is, frankly, easy to imagine that as the core for her return to public life and politics for hillary clinton at some point, but we shall see. the secretary also reflected today on how she is really leaving public life for the first time in a very long time. and she suggested that that might make her a little lonely. >> i am very proud to have been secretary of state. i will miss you. i will probably be dialing ops

if the u.s. believes that this the target has in the past been involved in such violent activities, and the target has not renounced such activities, it can be assumed that they are an eminent threat now, and that that would justify an attack. now, again, remember, we're talking about targeted killings of americans. we're talking about making decisions based on secret administration has publicly let on. >> mike, on the three part, so it has to be eminent risk. and you just described the broader concept of eminence, which is the phrase in there. >> yes. >> and that there can't be a capture that we're killing somebody because they can't be captured. there is also an elaboration on that which it seems to me seems to be quite a wide definition. i'm fascinated by the fact that we don't really capture terrorist suspects in yemen and somali and pakistan and these other places where we know drones, american drone strikes have killed people. people get killed there. they don't get captured. the definition
